SARI Line Relocation Project in Final Stages

Information for SAVI Ranch Businesses

WHAT:The Orange County Flood Control District, in cooperation with the Orange County Sanitation District and theSanta Ana Watershed Project Authority, is in the final stages of relocating a 4-mile section of the existing SantaAna River Interceptor sewer pipeline (SARI Line) from the Orange/San Bernardino county border to SAVIRanch. Work currently taking place behind SAVI Ranch includes installing the last sections of pipe, efforts toensure flood protection and completing environmental restoration.

WHEN:The relocation project began in late 2011 with major construction behind SAVI Ranch scheduled for completionthis spring.

WHY:Over the years, erosion has put 4 miles of the existing SARI Line in jeopardy of failure during heavy rainstorms.Relocating the SARI Line ensures continued reliable sewer service for the public, safeguards water quality in theriver and along its banks, and protects coastal waters and beaches that lie at the mouth of the Santa Ana River.In addition, the Orange County Water District’s water recharge basins, which are adjacent to the Santa AnaRiver, are safeguarded against the risk of contamination.

WHAT BUSINESSES CAN ANTICIPATE:For the next two months, businesses within SAVI Ranch and adjacent to the Santa Ana River can expect to seeincreased traffic, including large trucks and other vehicles carrying heavy equipment, on the construction road.As has been our practice throughout the project, we will continue dust-mitigation procedures, including wateringthe construction road. Drivers will also follow strict speed limits when traveling on the construction road.
